Abstract: Polypeptides of the general formula Ser-X1-X2-rscuPA<143-411> (1) in which X1 and X2 are defined amino acids or lower peptide bridges, X2 can also be a single bond, and rscuPA<143-411> is the unglycosylated sequence region of amino acids 143 (Glu) to 411 (LeuOH) from scu-PA 54 k, which can be used as plasminogen activators are described. To obtain these compounds, plasmids which are described in detail as such or in terms of their isolation were produced and expression thereof in suitable bacterial hosts provides, in each case in high yields, an expression product which does not act as plasminogen activator but whose protein-chemical conversion then leads to the single-chain compounds of the formula I which are valuable as plasminogen activators. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In order to effect the reading-out of a signal from a recording medium at a high speed and without the collision of a probe electrode, the control of the spacing between the probe electrode and the signal recording layer of the recording medium is effected by sampling a tunnel current detected by the probe electrode at the timing of a reproduction clock, and reproduction is effected with this sampled value as a reference. Also, in order to effect information recording with good reproducibility and at high density, the control variable of a servo control circuit for controlling the spacing between the probe electrode and the recording layer is changed over during the periods before and after a writing pulse is applied to the probe electrode. Also, in order to effect re-recording reliably, the prior recorded state at the re-writing position is detected, and from the result of this detection, an optimal servo control variable, the waveform of a pulse voltage applied, etc. are set. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Reduced calorie 1,2-propylene glycol diesters, where one ester group contains a medium chain C6-C12 saturated fatty acid radicals(s), and where the other ester group contains a long chain C20-C24 saturated fatty acid radical(s) are disclosed. These diesters are preferably obtained by the selective esterification of long chain saturated fatty acid monoesters of propylene glycol with the respective medium chain saturated fatty acids or anhydrides. Certain preferred diesters where the medium chain radicals are C8 and/or C10 radicals and where the long chain radicals are C20 and/or C22 radicals are particularly useful as reduced calorie cocoa butter substitutes and hard butters. Chocolate-flavored products formulated from these preferred diesters, when properly crystallized, are bloom resistant, even when subjected to thermal stress.

Abstract: A solenoid valve, for example for use as the fuel valve of a gas-fuelled boiler, comprises a main body (1) having a fluid flow passageway connecting an inlet (2) and an outlet (3), between which there is located, in the passageway, a valve seat (5) and a closure (10) co-operable with the seat (5). The valve seat (5) comprises an annular disc of rubber defining a fluid flow orifice (4) and which has flushly embedded in its upper surface a number of mutually spaced conductive areas (13 min ). The closure (10) comprises a rubber disc having flushly embedded in its lower surface a number of mutually spaced conductive areas (13). Two adjacent conductive areas (13 min ) of the seat (5) are connected by, respectively, a conductor (14) and earth to an electrical circuit. The conductive areas 13 and 13 min are arranged relative to one another such that only when the valve is properly closed, ie completely circumferentially sealed, the areas (13, 13 min ) co-operate in bridging fashion to provide electrical continuity between the two adjacent areas (13 min ). On the other hand, there will be electrical discontinuity in the valve "open" position or if the valve does not properly close. The electrical circuit is responsive to such continuity and/or discontinuity, as the case may be. For example, the circuit may serve to prevent commencement of the ignition sequence of the boiler in the event that incomplete sealing of the valve, in its off position, is indicated at start up. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The DNA encoding the cell surface receptor for thrombin has been cloned and sequenced. The availability of this DNA permits the recombinant production of thrombin receptor which can be produced at cell surfaces and is useful in assay systems both for the detection of thrombin and for the evaluation of candidate thrombin agonists. Further, the elucidation of the structure of the thrombin receptor permits the design of agonist and antagonist compounds which are useful diagnostically and therapeutically. The availability of the thrombin receptor also permits production of antibodies specifically immunoreactive with the receptor per se or with specific regions thereof which are also useful diagnostically or therapeutically.

Abstract: The cocurrent gas generator according to the invention has a helical conveyor screw (7) which conveys the fresh material at the same time as the recycled material - that is to say the material which has already passed once or a number of times through the hearth (18) - from the bottom upwards along a conveying chamber (5). The hearth (18) of annular shape is fed with primary combustion air both from the outside and from the inside, so that all the material to be gasified is obliged to pass through the hearth (18) zone and is therefore subjected to a complete process of conversion into charcoal with the formation of carbon dioxide as a result. The gasifying chamber (20) is arranged above the hearth (18) and is used for converting carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide. This gas is then directed outwards for a specified use (combustion, driving engines). The gas generator forming the subject of the invention has the advantage of guaranteeing perfectly controllable gasification conditions, which is indispensable in particular during the treatment of contaminated timber (demolition timber, manufacture residues and waste and the like). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A ring network, the ring nodes of which are constructed as add-and-drop multiplexers, is formed with purely optical components. On the optical fibre lines connecting the ring nodes, optical signals are transmitted in wavelength division multiplex. In the ring nodes, the optical signals are supplied wavelength-individually to a waveguide. According to the invention, the ring nodes are constructed in such a manner that a signal of one wavelength can both be switched through a ring node and extracted from the ring node. A signal injected into any node of the ring network can therefore be extracted at several ring nodes of the ring network. <IMAGE>
